This song, "Trails", which can be found on their latest album Fluorescence (2011), is a great tune that features elements from both the shoegaze and dream pop genres. It starts off with shoegaze-esque guitar instrumentals, reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine, and later transitions to a more ethereal sound. All the while we are treated to Yuki Chikudate's vocals, which are strong enough to maintain its ground in the midst of all the varied instrumentation.

Asobi Seksu - Trails [shoegaze, dream pop]
Asobi Seksu is an American shoegaze/dream pop band. They were originally known as Sportfuck but changed their name shortly after the release of their first EP in 2001, saying that they found it juvenile. Interestingly, Asobi Seksu is just a play on that name: Asobi means game/play whereas Seksu is clearly just a japonification (or whatever) of sex.
